Barry Tashian guitar/harmony
[C#]You make up your mind you choose the [F#]chance you take
You ride to where the [C#]highway ends and the [Ab]desert breaks
Out on to an [C#]open road you ride [F#]until the day
You learn to [C#]sleep at night [Ab]with the [C#]price you pay
Now with their hands held high,
they reached out for the [F#]open skies
And then with t[C#]heir last breath they built the roads
They would [Ab]ride to their deaths
Driving on t[C#]hrough the night, unable to [F#]break away
[C#] [Ab] [F#]
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[Ab]rom the [C#]price you pay[F#]
[C#]Now they'd come so far and they'd [F#]waited so long
Just to end up [C#]caught in a dream where everyth[Ab]ing goes wrong
Where the [C#]dark of night holds back the [F#]light of the day
And you've gotta s[C#]tand and fight [Ab]for the [F#]price you pay
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[Ab]rom the [C#]price you pay[F#]
SOLO
[C#]Little girl down on the strand
With that pretty little baby [F#]in your hands
Do you [C#]remember the story of the [Ab]promised land
How he crossed the d[C#]esert sands
And could not enter the [F#]chosen land
On the banks of the [C#]river he stayed
[Ab]To face the [C#]price you pay
So let the games start, you better run you little [F#]wild heart
You can [C#]run through all the nights and all the [Ab]days
But just across the [C#]county line,
A stranger passing through p[F#]ut up a sign
That counts so many [C#]fallen away [Ab]to the [F#]price you pay,
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[Ab]rom the [F#]price you pay
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[Ab]rom the [F#]price you pay[C#] [F#] [C#]
